    Description

      Trying to configure server to run in FIPS mode using subsystem capabilities.

      I can't configure throught subsystem same as in java.security file:

      java.security
      security.provider.1=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_66_fips_mode/__fips_config_material/pkcs11.cfg

      because if I try to pass configuration file or configuration

      /subsystem=elytron/provider-loader=fips:add(class-names=[sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11], path=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_66_fips_mode/__fips_config_material/pkcs11.cfg)

/subsystem=elytron/provider-loader=fips:add(class-names=[sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11], configuration={ \
	name=nssModule, value=fips \
	name=nssSecmodDirectory, value=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_66_fips_mode/__fips_config_material/fipsdb \
	name=nssLibraryDirectory, value=/usr/lib64 \
	name=name, value=testPkcs \
	name=nssDbMode, value=readOnly \
}

      I get exception

}

      It occures because loading of providers is in subsystem implemented in 2 steps

      • create provider instance (call noargs constructor)
      • optionally load configuration

      But sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 can't be created without configuration [1]
